Owner info

Year Purchased: 2002

About the owner: Our vacation home was built in 2002 because we really enjoy the Higgins Lake area. We found a perfect quiet neighborhood, within a mile of the South side of Higgins Lake and decided to build. Life started getting really busy with children in sports, so we decided to start renting out the cottage over five years ago. I wish I could post our guest book online because we have the best renters and have provided such wonderful comments in our guest book (located at the cottage.) Please feel free to call me at 517-655-7024 with any questions you may have about renting the cottage. Thank you so much! Annette

Why the Owner Chose Roscommon: Higgins Lake was once rated the 6th most beautiful lake in the world. With its deep, (stunning different blue colors)clear waters with a mile of shoreline at the South Higgins Lake State Park, makes this a lake you want to spend the day at. Whether you want to swim, go jet skiing or rent a boat to enjoy for the day and go tubbing or water skiing, this is the perfect lake! The opportunities are endless fishing, boating, swimming (in the winter, people enjoy ice fishing and snowmobiling). Higgins Lake runs into Houghton Lake. Come and enjoy the beauty of Higgins Lake and spend time with your family and friends!

The Unique Benefits at this Cottage: You will enjoy the many benefits our place has to offer and one of the top is the cleanliness!! Next, is the feeling of 'home' as our renters have stated to us. The cottage has beautiful hand-made log furniture throughout including log beds, kitchen table and family room furniture. I truly believe in getting away with your family and friends and doing activies together that don't seem to happen in everyday busy lives we all lead, so you will find games to play, some books to read, movies to watch together and if its a rainy day (playstation to play together). I really liked the fact that for years, we did not have cable because it allowed for more family time, but I did just add cable so there would be more of a variety of shows in case you wanted to watch some t.v. What makes our place nice is the fact that I try really hard to make it 'feel like home'. We have toliet paper, napkins, usually paper towels, and sometimes even coffee. There is even a few condiments in the frig. Please feel free to call me or email me with any questions you may have regarding this wonderful, clean, place to enjoy with your family and friends. To help keep the place so clean we do not allow smoking or pets.
*We have just added beg. of Aug. 2013: The interior got a fresh coat of paint, added more stainless steel pots for the kitchen and nice pillows for the beds with pillow protectors and a new steel box frame. Doing our best at keeping this place exceptionally nice!
